The future of coal: new carbon capture technologies

With Gareth Carpenter and Ross McCracken

As the most emissions-heavy fuel, coal is a clear target of climate regulation across much of the world, with several countries, including the UK, having announced zero coal targets.

Providing around 30% of global primary energy supply, and 50% in Asia alone, it appears we cannot live with coal in climate terms, but cannot live without it in some way in energy terms. A potential solution to this problem is clean coal technology and in particular Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
